@debbraw Shepherds pie is a great idea. I make a version of that but I skimp on the mashed potato topping on the part I will eat. Also, you could do meatballs and sauce if tomatoes are OK. It doesn't have to be extremely spicy, and to save on calories and carbs I serve mine on top of baked zucchini while my husband has pasta. Fish fillets are generally pretty soft, can you do fish? We generally have haddock about once a week, and some other fish a second time, like wild salmon, and occasionally swordfish or shrimp.

The meat has to be diced or ground, so no boneless chicken breasts? They are pretty digestible I think, and as long as they were well-chewed I would think they might be acceptable.

I will be interested in hearing other ideas.

@debbraw My suggestion is to become friends with your blender and food processor. Just put whatever you cook for your husband into the processor and grind until it is the right consistency for you. Also make sure you have plenty of sauce to keep your foods moist. Good luck.
